If you sort the standings by point percentage, there are 13 teams that have a greater than 1.1 PPG in the standings. 7 teams in the east and 6 in the west.

St. Louis misses out by 0.01 at 1.09.

In the west for that final spot you have

Vancouver - 1.06
LA - 1.04
Calgary - 1.04
Winnipeg - 0.98
Dallas - 0.98

Currently the Flames are 21st overall in the standings when sorted based off the games played. Buffalo, Detroit, New Jersey, and Florida are all at 1.02, with Tampa, Dallas, and Winnipeg all being at 0.98. Then you have Arizona and Colorado being the Buffalo and Toronto from last year. So far behind everyone else that they are irrelevant.

Looking ahead, this is what the Flames face over the next while until the trade deadline.

Toronto - 12th
Montreal - 5th
Ottawa - 10th
Minnesota - 3rd
New Jersey - T-22nd
Rangers - 7th
Pittsburgh - 4th
Arizona - 29th
Philadelphia - T-16th
Vancouver - T-16th
Nashville - 13th
Tampa Bay - T-26th
Florida - T-22nd
Carolina - 15th
LA - 20th

15 games, 7 against teams on the bottom half of the standings and 5 against the elites. With how the Flames are doing lately, things could go south quickly unless the team turns things around fast.
